Hi Folks
I'm using OpenBSD in my home and laptops machines from severals years
ago, from 2.8 release.
But I have never used this in a production environment, today I have
the need to mount mail services / web / dns.
I need ideas, comments, regarding the performance of OpenBSD in a
production environment. Advantages, disadvantages and because I use
OpenBSD.
Perhaps the answers I know, but would listen.
Greetings.
P.S. Viva Mexico. !

You should start by trying to do your homework...
Read the mail archives, and do specific questions.
Hi,
Since you have used OpenBSD for a long time, probably you know quite a
bit already. Are you looking for someone to tell you to just go ahead
and use OpenBSD for production purposes? It is hard for someone to take
on that responsibility and that may be why some of the responses sound
harsh to you. GWIW, I will give you my experience.
I have used OpenBSD for production purposes since version 2.7 (may have
been earlier -- I just checked my OpenBSD CDs and the earliest I see is
version 2.7 :) and always use it at customer sites whenever it is
possible/practical. Occasionally, I do have to justify OpenBSD because
someone has read marketing information from various vendors or have read
a portion of a thread in one of the lists. But that has not been
difficult due to the following reasons.
OpenBSD is a great platform for DNS, email, web, database, and other
application services. It can be a great firewall and VPN concentrator
and has very good documentation and real support from knowledgeable
developers. So I don't see any disadvantages in using it.
As far as the mailing lists are concerned, you may find people here are
far more friendly if you ask a specific question that has not been
addressed before. The typical person on this mailing list has many
things to do, is probably managing complicated networks or is a serious
developer, and you may see them snap at you if your question has been
asked and answered earlier. After all they are human too and it is
difficult to answer open ended questions.
I hope this helps you.
